wicked games is a popular Chu Wanning/Mo Ran fic in The Husky and His White Cat Shizun fandom. It has inspired recursive works as well as two translations into different languages.

Summary

It has been six months since Mo Ran has seen Chu Wanning. It has been on purpose. Once Chu Wanning had been promoted upwards in both position and office floor, Mo Ran made sure to give wide berth to the cold and unfeeling man who’s butted heads with him since he started at Sisheng.

This changes one night, when a friend puts forth a wager.

“Not him.”

“Hm?” Mei Hanxue peers over, and his eyes go wide before an absolutely shit-eating smile crosses his face. He doesn’t even bother with an over-saccharine “Why not?” because he can already see Mo Ran’s hackles start to rise.

“No,” Mo Ran warns before Mei Hanxue can open his mouth, and Mei Hanxue gives him a positively feline look. “Do you want me to die?”

“For him, I’ll double what I said I’d give you,” Mei Hanxue says and Mo Ran raises an eyebrow. “What? If he says yes, it’d be one of mankind’s greatest accomplishments. Statues would be made in your honour.”

Fan Reviews and Responses

An absolute re-read, here. And a wondrously sized one at that, 124K of a super wild ride on a feels rollercoaster. Modern office!AU, intensely complicated ranwan relationship - and a bet MHX strikes with MR for sheer lulz, and MR cannot back out just because he has to date, kiss and bed CWN, right, right? Oh dear, the ethics here is such a delicious, glorious mess. The scene when CWN arrives at MR's to get laid - perfectly aware how this is nothing for MR but a bet to fulfil - the author sure knows how to play these heart-strings right! A gorgeous treat. Honestly I've spent a night and the whole following day just unable to tear my eyes off the pages, reading to the utmost abandon. An unforgettable experience I dearly hope to undergo again.[1]

jesus did i cry with this one...[2]

I really could not stop reading with this one; fair amount of angst, with a balance of fluff and humour[3]
